NON-EXPEDITED COURSE PROPOSALS Courses Numbered 000-599 English ADD: ENGL 500 – Writing Center Theory and Practice. (3) I, II. Readings in and

applications of writing center theory in a peer tutoring context. Pr.: ENGL 200 or equivalent.

RATIONALE: Offers professional development for students of English who wish to

pursue teaching, editing, or publishing. Students study theories of effective writing and instruction and then put those theories into practice in the English Department’s Writing Center. Has been run several times under the rubric ENGL 497, and needs to be assigned its own number.

IMPACT: None EFFECTIVE DATE: Fall 2012 ADD: WOMST 405 – Resistance and Movements for Social Change. (3) I. Examines

Women’s Resistance and movements against gender violence and discrimination in the context of colonialism, globalization, war, militarism, and occupation. Pr.: WOMST 105 or 305.

K-State 8: Global Issues and Perspectives Historical Perspectives RATIONALE: This course fills a gap in our curriculum. Taken as a part of our newly

revised curriculum, this course is being added to provide Women’s Studies majors with a global historical overview of women’s resistance to gender violence and women’s movements for social change.

IMPACT: None EFFECTIVE DATE: Fall 2012 ADD: WOMST 510 – Research Methods in Women’s Studies. (3) II. An advanced

course in practices of research in Women’s Studies, with attention to what distinguishes interdisciplinary, feminist research from traditional, disciplinary practices.

NON-EXPEDITED COURSE PROPOSALS Courses Numbered 600-999 Geography FROM: GEOG 705 – Remote sensing of the Environment. (3) I, II. Remote sensing and

its application to earth study, especially environmental problems and land use. Course employs both readings and the use of imagery. Note: Two hours lecture, two hours lab. Pr.: One course in physical science and one in biological science. Cross-listed with AGRON 706.

TO: GEOG 605 - Remote sensing of the Environment. (3) I, II. Remote sensing and

its application to earth study, especially environmental problems and land use. Course employs both readings and the use of imagery. Note: Two hours lecture, two hours lab. Pr.: One course in physical science and one in biological science. Cross-listed with AGRON 706.

RATIONALE: Change in the course number from 705 to 605 more accurately reflects the

level at which the class is currently being taught. IMPACT: College of Agriculture/Agronomy (AGRON 706) EFFECTIVE DATE: Fall 2012 ADD: GEOG 712 – Internet GIS and Distributed Geographic Information Services. (3)

II. Introduces the development and deployment of Internet maps and GIS-related web services. Students will use virtual globes and Internet map servers to learn the techniques of Internet mapping and development/delivery of geodata and geoprocessing services via the Web. Studio-style classes will focus on building the necessary skills for creating, as well as the practical applications of, customized GIS map applications and “mashups”, web-based GIS services, and mobile GIS applications. Pr.: GEOG 708.

RATIONALE: The Internet is increasingly being used as the means to deliver maps,

geographic data, and spatial data processing services to end users. This proposed course fills a void in our current geographic information science (GIScience) curriculum at the senior undergraduate and graduate levels by building on prerequisites such as GEOG 508 GIS I and GEOG 708 GIS II to better understand client-server computing from a GIScience perspective and practice the techniques required to author and serve Internet-based map products and web-based geographic services.

IMPACT: None

Note: The course meets for three hours of lecture per week with one required weekend field trip. Pr.: GEOG 221 or permission of instructor.

K-State 8: Natural and Physical Sciences RATIONALE: The course takes a natural and physical science approach to rivers by

examining the physical processes whereby rivers shape the surface of the earth. Reading and lecture materials are scientific in nature. And include the physics of fluid flow and sediment movement through rivers. As a small seminar class, the course involves active learning on the part of students over topics dealing with the Natural and Physical Sciences. For that reason, we would like to see the course tagged in K-State 8 in the “Natural and Physical Sciences”.

IMPACT: None EFFECTIVE DATE: Fall 2012 Journalism and Mass Communications FROM: MC 605 – Supervision of School Publications. (3) S. A methods course for those

planning to teach secondary or community college journalism courses and advise high school or community college publications.

TO: MC 505 – Supervision of School Publications. (3) S. A methods course for those

planning to teach secondary or community college journalism courses and advise high school or community college publications.

RATIONALE: To lower the course level from 600-level to 500-level, which will allow non-graduate faculty to teach it without obtaining an exception from the Graduate School each year. The history of this course in the past five or more years is that no one has taken it for graduate credit.

IMPACT: The College of Education will be impacted because the course is taken by

secondary education students seeking certification in journalism. EFFECTIVE DATE: Summer 2012 Mathematics ADD: MATH 635 – Dynamics, Chaos, and Fractals. (3) I. An introduction to one

dimensional real and complex dynamics: attracting and repelling cycles, iterations of quadratic polynomials, bifurcation theory, chaos, Hausdorff measures and Hausdorff dimension, fractals, Julia and Fatou sets, and Mandelbrot sets. Pr.: MATH 221.

RATIONALE: Dynamics and chaos are becoming a major area of mathematics, which

also provides an excellent area for REU projects. We need to add an additional elective course for our undergraduates in this area. Recent hires in the department include faculty with research specialties in this area to teach the course.

IMPACT: None EFFECTIVE DATE: Fall 2012 ADD: MATH 843 – Advanced Probability I. (3) I. Review of measure theory notions

specific to probability, including classical limit theorems, constructions of Brownian motion, Stochastic integration, the martingale representation theorem and martingale-based function spaces. Pr.: STAT 510 and MATH 821.

RATIONALE: The mathematical foundations of probability theory were laid down during

the twentieth century and established an entirely new branch of mathematics with many applications to the physical sciences and beyond. In the last two decades, probability has found applications to traditional mathematical subjects such as complex analysis, functional analysis, matrix theory, Fourier analysis and numerical analysis. One of the recent Fields medals was awarded to Stas Smirnov for his work on random conformal mappings and percolation. Faculty members in our department have taught some of these new developments in the context of topics courses and currently two candidates for PhD, Santosh Ghimire and Xiaojing Zhang, are writing their thesis in probability-related questions.

We feel, as a department, that our graduate students would benefit from a more comprehensive training in the field of probability. The first semester, Math 843,

7

is dedicated to the rigorous mathematical foundations and the development of Brownian motion (the building block for many of the subsequent developments). The second semester, Math 844, is more open-ended but concentrates on the many applications that have recently been forged in various fields of analysis, geometry and group theory, some of which even touch base with statistical mechanics.

We contemplate that this two-semester sequence, although focused toward graduate students in Mathematics, could appeal to other graduate students at the University, such as Statistics, Electrical and Computing Engineering, Physics and others.

IMPACT: Statistics has been informed and has approved. EFFECTIVE DATE: Fall 2012 ADD: MATH 844 – Advanced Probability II. (3) II. Topics may include stochastic

processes, random matrix theory, free probability, random fractals and random analytic maps. Pr.: MATH 843.

Music ADD: MUSIC 605 – Lower String Pedagogy. (2) S. Study of low string technique and

related teaching methods. Intended for teachers of string, concert/jazz bands and vocal music if they use a bass with accompaniment combos for pit orchestras or swing choirs.

RATIONALE: The graduate program of the Department of Music has a course focused for upper string pedagogy but needs a course for the summer program to complete the content.

IMPACT: None EFFECTIVE DATE: Summer 2012 Statistics ADD: STAT 843 – Statistical Inference. (3) II. Distributions (commonly used

univariate and multivariate distributions, including exponential families of distributions and properties), order statistics and distributional properties, (asymptotic) unbiased estimation and the information inequality, likelihood inference for parametric statistical models (including the multi-parameter case, regular and non-regular cases), confidence sets, functional parameters and statistical functional, density estimation and nonparametric function estimation, permutation methods. Pr.: STAT 842; MATH 634 or equivalent, or concurrent enrollment in MATH 634.

RATIONALE: The proposed course STAT 843 reflects the desirability for Statistics PhD

students to encounter certain material that is in the current STAT 981 course at an earlier point in the curriculum, suitable for an 800 level offering. The course description reflects such, and includes additional modern topics in statistical inference, also suitable for an 800 level offering. Pre/co-requisites reflect the changes to accommodate this curriculum change. The remaining content of the current STAT 981 course will be covered as STAT 941, along with additional modern topics suitable for a 900 level offering.

IMPACT: None EFFECTIVE DATE: Fall 2012 ADD: STAT 905 – High-Dimensional Data and Statistical Learning. (3) I, Even years.

Statistical methods for the analysis of large scale data. Data mining, supervised and unsupervised statistical learning techniques for prediction and pattern recognition. Methods for model selection, multiple testing control, and estimation in high-dimensions. Applications in various fields, including the sciences and

9

engineering using computer software. Pr.: STAT 713 and 771, plus one introductory course in statistical computing (e.g. STAT 726 or equivalent background).

RATIONALE: Data of unprecedented scales and complexities are now routinely

generated from diverse fields as science and technology advance (e.g. genomics). The curses and blessings of dimensionality have been reshaping statistical thinking and methodological development. Accordingly, extensive research beyond classical statistical inference techniques has been conducted to address the challenges associated with high-dimensionality. The department has previously offered coverage of such materials as STAT 950 (Advanced Studies in Probability and Statistics). Expertise of the current faculty, coupled with graduate student demand, would allow research and instructional enhancements consistent with the discipline, and thus make such course a significant addition to the curriculum.

IMPACT: None EFFECTIVE DATE: Fall 2012 ADD: STAT 907 – Bayesian Statistical Inference. (3) I, odd years. Principles of

Bayesian inference. Methods of Bayesian data analysis with applications in the sciences. Hierarchical and non-hierarchical models, including linear and generalized linear models. Model checking, Model selection, Model comparison. Bayesian computation including Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithms. Applications in the sciences utilizing computer software. Pr.: STAT 720 and 771, plus one introductory course in statistical computing (e.g. STAT 725 or 726 or equivalent background).

RATIONALE: The Bayesian approach to statistical inference and statistical computing is

of mainstream importance and utility for data analysis. Nowadays, this approach represents a functional mode of statistical thought, along with the frequentist (Fisherian) approach based on likelihood methods. The department has previously offered coverage of such material as STAT 950 (Advanced Studies in Probability and Statistics). Expertise of the current faculty, coupled with graduate student demand, would allow research and instructional enhancements consistent with the discipline, and thus make such course a significant addition to the curriculum.

IMPACT: None EFFECTIVE DATE: Fall 2012 FROM: STAT 980 – Probability and Asymptotics. (3) I. Probability theory, including

independence, conditioning, modes of stochastic convergence, laws of large

10

numbers, central limit theory, martingales. Statistical applications to asymptotic approximations and efficiency for inference in parametric and nonparametric models based on likelihood methods and statistical functional. Pr.: Math through at least two semesters of advanced calculus and STAT 771.

TO: STAT 842 – Probability for Statistical Inference. (3) I. Probability spaces and

random elements, distributions, generating and characteristic functions, conditional expectation, convergence modes and stochastic orders, continuous mapping theorems, central limit theory and accuracy, laws of large numbers, asymptotic expansions for approximating functions of random variables and distributions. Pr.: STAT 770 &771, or equivalent; MATH 633 or equivalent, or concurrent enrollment in MATH 633.

IMPACT: None EFFECTIVE DATE: Fall 2012 Women’s Studies FROM: WOMST 610 – Seminar in Women’s Studies. (3) I. Rec. This course surveys

interdisciplinary, feminist methods of research and contemporary applications of this scholarship.

TO: WOMST 610 – Capstone Seminar in Women’s Studies. (3) I. Rec. An advanced

seminar for in-depth investigation of a specific topic. Students will conduct independent research and produce a substantial project or paper. Pr.:WOMST 510.

RATIONALE: As part of our overall curriculum revision, this course will now serve as

the capstone for our curriculum. The general survey by the previous description is more applicable now to other courses; this course will be for undergraduates to undertake serious research as the culmination of their major. The change in title and description makes this clear in the catalog.

IMPACT: None EFFECTIVE DATE: Fall 2012

and reflects changes in the discipline. It reflects the increased presence of Women’s Studies classes and faculty at the university and allows for a logical progression through the major as well as focusing the distribution requirements more effectively.

IMPACT: Cross-listed classes from other departments will continue to receive exactly the

same credit as before. They will simply be counted differently in our internal distribution requirements, to reflect distribution according to topic rather than department.
